[erlang-questions] list:join() for erlang?

[David Budworth]

i'm guessing they mean join in the scripting language sense which is more
for creating CSV type strings.

ie (fictional function):
"I,Like,Erlang" = lists:join(["I","Like","Erlang"],",")

so join/2 would be something like (newbie alert, just started learning
erlang, so excuse the (possibly) bad code):

join([First|Rest],JoinWith) ->
   lists:flatten( [First] ++ [ JoinWith ++ X || X <- Rest] ).

calling join(["A","B","C"],"+")
would result in "A+B+C"
